Many Xbox gamers are probably already familiar with the Xbox 360 Xenia emulator usable on both Android and PC.

IMPORTANT: Before you go and try it for yourself, please note that using Xenia UWP is strongly recommended for experienced users. We don't want anyone to have problems with their precious Xbox consoles so be very cautious and remember to inform yourself in detail before trying it.
Continuing with the emulator, we must keep in mind that it is not perfect, it is still in the early development phase but the port is already for the most modern Xbox consoles, so the catalog will not be available in its entirety and it will also be normal that you run into crashes, slow down, and even see that there is no compatibility. Yet it is very promising as these developers are not new to this type of project.

With this said you may know that this emulator is the renowned Dolphin UWP and the mind of this will now work on this new and promising emulator for Xbox Series X|S.
There is already a small sample of what this emulator can do from an Xbox Series X as reported by ReveriePass, one of the developers who is part of this project. And Rererie's video you'll see below is the announcement of the port of Xenia where we will find some classics in order of the video are Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa, N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights, Marble Blast Ultra, Ninja Blade, Feeding Frenzy, GoldenEye 007 XBLA.
